Apple this morning sent out press invitations for a special event, set to take place on Monday, March 9th. The Loop shared the invite (shown above), which invites attendees to ‘Spring forward,’ and says it will be held in San Francisco at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts.

There’s no official word on what Apple will talk about during the event, but the consensus is the company will reveal further details about the Apple Watch. It’s also possible that Tim Cook and Co. could introduce rumored projects such as the 12-inch MacBook or iPad Pro.

Unveiled last September, and scheduled to launch in April, there is still a lot we don’t know about the Cupertino firm’s highly anticipated wearable. Apple has yet to mention pricing beyond the starting price of $349, and has been fairly quiet regarding things like battery life.

What we do know, however, is that the Apple Watch will come in three versions: Sport, Standard and Edition, and two sizes: 38mm and 42mm. It’ll support Apple Pay, app push notifications, fitness tracking, and a wide range of other functions, but it will rely on an iPhone.

The last time Apple held an event in the spring was in 2012, when it introduced the third-generation iPad and Apple TV.

Shortest blog post ever. I’m really excited for this event and I hope Apple have improved their smartwatch since they announced it. I also hope that they’ll announce some new Macs because I’m looking to upgrade to a new Mac sometimes this year.

MBA, MBA, MBA…. (crossing fingers).

YES

Ah damnit. I guess the Apple Watch is launching after my birthday then.

John

Wouldn’t it have always launched after you’re birthday?
Tim said a while back that it would launch in April.

I do hope they update the MBP (best processor, best battery life?), just if they keep the ability to upgrade both RAM and HDD. It’s the best option so far if you want to update it at some time in the future.

Well this sucks. It’d be nice if it’d at least function as a watch without being paired with an iPhone or when your iPhones battery dies…

Agreed. And I just don’t know about this Apple Watch. I have a iPhone & iPad along with a Mac, I don’t really wear watches… There’s no doubt in my mind the Apple Watch will be awesome. I can’t find a reason for it…

The use case seems to be not being ignorant by taking your phone at of your pocket when talking to others but instead making the other person feel like you’re in a rush and have to be somewhere else because you’re constantly checking your watch…

Al

So, basically checking your watch constantly is being less of an ignorant than checking the phone? Its as if owning the Apple Watch will make a person less of an idiot. I tend to think eventually the Apple Watch will not rely on an iPhone. And when that happens.. I think that’s when it will play a serious role, until then I’m skeptical. It’s going to sell millions.. No doubt, but I’ll be passing up on it..

John

In my opinion, I cannot see why BASIC watch functions would need an iPhone connected to it because the watch won’t sync alarms and you can add them on the watch itself, along with changing the date and time.

I image the iphone would be needed for things like GPS, messaging and calls.

Thank you so much Marco. You didn’t have to, but you did. And that makes you awesome!

More chance they will give away a free Apple Watch edition to anyone who had an iCloud account.

Here I am, watching my watch thinking weather I should change my watch or wait and watch how the new watch is and watch my friends with the watch and then wait and watch and watch and watch and watch… Huf! So many decisions to watch…

Exactly! My guess is they’ll announce the apple watch, macbook 12inch and ipad pro along with possible appletv.. the one more thing will be the newly designed photo editor is finally completed and will be available for download once the presentation is over. I can also see them announcing a new IOS update like 8.2 to fix some bugs, usually that’s announced at the beginning of the presentation.

From your lips to God’s (or Tim’s) ears.

I think that’s way too much for one event that isn’t WWDC.

quitcherbichinn

EXCITED!

Charging two devices every night.. Ain’t nobody got time for that. Lol

Victor Molina

I just want the Apple watch to use it as a watch that’s mostly it. And to send my heart to a couple of ppl to bother them from time to time.
